January 26 , 2017

The ice conditions around Lake Champlain are getting pretty poor at this point with very little freezing weather over the past 2 weeks there are still a few places to go but bring a chisel and check the ice as you go DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE THICKNESS OF THE ICE it is very weak you need to be on 8 to 10 inches right now to be safe because the top 4 to 6 inches is rotten . On a positive note the weather is going to tur colder in the next couple days and the ice will harden up and be much safer by next Monday Lake Trout , Northern pike , Walleye and most Panfish are biting very well now if you can get to them safely February should be an outstanding month for ice fishing so make plans now and catch some big ones. BE SAFE OUT THERE WHEN IN DOUGHT DONT GO OUT!

January 16 , 2017

The ice fishing season has been great so far we have decent ice on the northern and southern end of Lake Champlain and most of the ponds. Yellow Perch , Sunfish and Northern Pike have been biting good in many of the ice covered bays around the Lake Champlain. Lake Trout , Salmon and Walleye have been slow on Lake Champlain due to the lack of ice on the good locations. Some of the Lakes in the area have been producing some nice Walleye and good catches of Yellow Perch .
